A new radio program
launched in the Palm Beach Diocese in June with a focus on shedding
light on pro-life issues, and sharing ways to get involved in promoting
the culture of life in the not-so-pro-life world. Organizers believe the
program may be the only one of its kind in Florida, if not the United
States, that is broadcast from a site across the street from an abortion
clinic. "We are doing battle on the frontlines," said Anne Lotierzo, a
parishioner of St. Joseph Parish in Stuart, who hosts "CrossRoads" with
Duane Berreth, a parishioner of St. Mark the Evangelist in Fort Pierce.
Berreth, a grand Knight of Columbus, heads the parish's respect life

Port St. Lucie and Fort Pierce. "I think the program idea is great,"
said Eva Daniel-Barrera, a parishioner of St. Mark the Evangelist. "The
program will let everybody know about current pro-life issues. There are
a lot of concerns today."

It comes down to a matter of accepting the authority of the Church that Christ founded upon Peter. My challenge is not in the intellect, but rather in the will. The challenge for me has always been to continually seek conversion. I want to be transformed, but I want it to be over all ...
